These days there are not many topics that are "off the table"
when it comes to talking with your girlfriends. Still, some women don't feel
comfortable talking about the gynecological issues they face. Uterine
fibroids, endometriosis, uterine bleeding - the list goes on - are common and
treatable.

The gynecological experts at Sutter Health treat a wide
variety of gynecologic conditions. Our philosophy is to identify the least
invasive and most effective approach depending on the woman's unique diagnosis.
There are a number of minimally invasive surgical techniques available today,
which can often be performed in place of traditional surgeries requiring long
incisions and lengthy recoveries. Many of these techniques can now be performed
in an office setting and under light sedation rather than general anesthesia.
